d. W. Brown, presiding elder of Rolla Dis
friet, arrived in Ironton OH the 9th inst, and
was kindly welcomed by the pastor of the
NJ h. Church and others. Saturday night
the Quarterly Conference met, but, owing
the absence of several members, the princi-
pal business of the Conference was post
poned till Monday. Sunday, as usual. the
climax was reached, and everybody and his
brother were out to church to hear the
splendid sermon which the presiding elder
had in store for them. At this point will
simply say that the congregation was not
disappointed, for the elder seemed to he at
his best, and the grand themes which he
discussed were sent home to the hearts of a
oehe'lhg people. G. A. Maston sat, during
the delivery of the sermon, within. the alter.
ousliy jotting down the main points made by
the speaker. Monday, at 8 O'Clock A, NJ.
the Quarterly Conference was called TO order
again, and everybody being in their places.
the order of business was resumed, and con-
tinued till all the reports of the various de-
partments of the church were secured and

gate to the Lay Convention which is to meet
in st. Louis, March 21st. At this Conven-
ton the delegates to the General Conference
to meet in NV York in May, 1883, will be
elected. Shall Ironton have the honor? Who
knows! AS was not born great, nor haye
achieved greatness, upon that occasion do
not expect to have greatness thrust upon
me.
Messrs. Chas. Hill and Alfred Robinson, of
Mineral Point, were present at the love feast
Monday night, and, oh my! how they did
sing! And their singing. how it did enthuse
the audience, beggars description.
Elder Brown left Monday to meet d COM
mittee in st. Louis, who will decide the To-
cation of a college, which is to be cared for
by the Central Missouri Conference. As this
Conference is only two years old, the effort
is very credtable one. The Freedmans
Aid Society have promised donation of
49, 900 to the committee, as soon as ali legal
steps have been taken.

We cordially endorse the following,
taken from the New Madrid Record of
the 10th inst:
Col. Robert McCulloch, State Register of
Lands, will be candidate for reelection.
He is one of the most competent officials our
state has ever had, and by his admirable
management of the business has given uni
versal satisfaction to the people. The duties
imposed by law upon the Register are very
important, and he has under his control a
great many valuable records and papers.
When man is found who proves himself
prompt, obliging, honest, competent and
thoroughly familiar with. the duties of the
office, as has Col. McCulloch, it is certainly
unwise to make a change. 1t goes wi bout
saving, the Colonel's candidacy for re-elec-
ton will be sui Jet to the action of the Dem
ocratic State Convention.

A suit at law last week developed
the fact that one firm in Wichita, Kan
sas, had imported from Missouri
brewery, and sold, 100000 bottles OF
beer in three months. The suit was
brought by the brewery for balance
due on account, amounting to $4,000
The Wichita druggist tried to offset
it with counter claim of $40 GOO dam
ages because the brewery had failed to
furnish more than half the amount of
beer demanded and contracted for. AS
Wichita has population OF only 49,
600, and the above amount sold would
average two quarts per day for every
man, women and child in that city, a
doubt arises as to whether prohibition
prohibits i'm sanity Kansas.

The famous Orange Judd, editor of the
Raafe Farmer, of Chicago, was a west
bound passenger last evening, enroute to
Butte, Mt. Mr.. Judd is among the not
ed journalists of the country, and has ca
tered to the literary tastes of the farmers
of the United States for years. In New
York he was contemporanous in the news
paper field with Horace G~reeley,and the
elder James Gordon Bennett. MIR. Judd
is a man evidently about 60 years of age,
wears a SLOUGH hat and apparently has
liberal ideas about dress.
John j. Jennings, the brilliant and tai
ented western correspondent of the Globe

ton. The gentleman was formerly one
of the best known dramatic critics in the
country, but has relinqnished this depart.

PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES.
Rev. Cowhick's "Reminiscences and the
Question Box Exercises.

The services at the Presbyterian church
were unusually well attended Sunday,
both morning and evening. At the first
service Rev. j. Y. Cowhick delivered an
interesting and entertaining IN of a
retrospective character. His subject was
Twelve years of Presbyterianism in
Cheyenne" DIR. Cowhick has been an
active factor in religious circles in this
city for the period mentioned. He related
in his usual pleasant and forcible manner
a carefully prepared review of interest
ing events which have occurred in connec-
ton with the church during his labors
with it.
In the evening Rev. Mr.. Field, the pas
tor, conducted the novel question box exer-
cises, to which a large audience listened
with marked attention. At the com
mencement of the services Rev. Field an
nounced that he laid no claims to superior
knowledge or understanding and did not
assume to be able to solve all questions
asked, but would discuss subjects preached
to the best Of Instability. Amongth he uues-
tions propounded were the following:
What is faith? AS a minister OF the
gospel what would you do if a man were
to smite you on the left cheek? In your
opinion, Is it right for divorce to be grant
ed for other than biblical reasons? Why
did Jesus, when on the cross, exclaim:
my God, my God, why hast thou for
saken me?' Is it proper for confessing
Christians to dance or engage in other
worldly amusements of a similar charac-
ter?
The pastor responded to all queries in a
lucid and satisfactory manner, and at
times became brief and tacetious. In
answer to the second question noted above
he replied that his subsequent action
would in a large measure depend upon
the size of the man. The Savior did not
cry in anguish when upon the cross, and
felt no physical pain. He simply regret
ted the sinfulness of the world. In re-
gard to indulging in worldly amusements
conscience should be the guide to ones
actions. NJ. Field announced that he
would at some future time deliver SER
mons upon some Of the questions pro-
pounded.

a 81 900 COMPANY.
The American Reductions Company Is
incorporated.

That the brilliant prospects of Wyo-
ming in the mineral line are becoming
known abroad is evidenced by the incor-
poration Of the American Reduction
company yesterday. The capital stock is
81, 200, 900, which is divided into 20, 900
shares. The purposes tor which it is
formed are the mining, concentrating,
milling, reducing, smelling and treating
Of ores containing the precious metals.
The trustees are nearly all well known
men, and are very wealthy. They are:
Senator Vim. Malone, Virginia; Gov
ernor Loomis, Connecticut; David A.
Windsor, Virginia; Robert II. Berdell,
Geo. w. Keller, Daniel d. Conover and
Robt. II. Griffin, New York. The famous
Robt G. Ingersoll is attorney for the or
ganization.
In order to carry out the objects Of the
corporation the trustees and their success
ors may acquire mines, purchase ores,
machinery and tools. build mills, establish
chemical works, and purchase such real
estate as may be necessary for the prose
cution Of their proposed business.
The Office and place of business of this
corporation in Wyoming shall be at Chey-
enne. 1t may also maintain an office at
Washington, D. G. The business of the
corporation may be carried on in any of
the states or territories or the Republic of
Mexico, and especially In the state of
Guanaiuto, Mexico.
While it is evident that the company
does not propose to begin operations in
this section Immediately, it is hardly pos
sible that they can overlook the great in
ducements offered by the neighboring
mining camps of Silver Crown and Man
haitian. 1t is certain that their attention
will be called to these districts by inter-
ested parties.
